Abstract
A perspective based on cultural relativism is noticed as a solution when addressing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) associated with social and human issues. The reality is that when we address the SDGs related to the themes of culture, society, equality, and cooperation, we have to face conflicts and collisions between cultural value systems in terms of identity side. Any personal identity tied to a community’s socio-political identity must be seen as shaped in interaction with space and time, that is, within a specific period of time. It is not an inherent characteristic that we must look for because once we assume that identity is the essential property that we must look for, we default to separating this one value from other values. Therefore, comparing and positioning one value with different values is very risky. From the perspective of cultural relativism, we realize that emphasizing one value as superior or more important than another is inappropriate. A metaphysical proposal based on the inter-narrative model can be formulated as a dialogue between differences based on respect and harmony. This proposal emphasizes that harmony between private space and common interests is guaranteed when the “unconditional commandment” of personal happiness is not only meaningful to the owner’s personal life and experience but also aims to create a viable network of connections that expands the private sphere, and combines them towards a common purpose. This article will analyze sustainable development goals’ social and human issues and propose solutions based on inter-narrative metaphysics.
